Adding RAM to MacBook Pro 13"
Hi,
Here's my rig:
MacBook Pro 13” Mid 2012 model
Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Core i5
Model identifier: 9,2
Present RAM: 4GB Stock (2- 2GB sticks)
RAM specs: 204 pin DDR3 PC3-12800-DDR3-1600MHz
I run Parallels 10 & Windows 8.1 on it for business reasons (Gasp, I know....) and those seem to be real RAM hogs, so that's why I am considering adding more RAM.
The Apple support pages state 8GB is max RAM for my unit.

However, I emailed customer service at OWC, and they spec both a RAM kit of 8GB (2- 4GB sticks), and a 16GB RAM kit (2- 8GB sticks) for my machine.
Can anyone verify that 16GB is indeed okay for my machine and Parallels 10 & Win 8.1 can access it?
Thanks, John
